Charging a Battery Bank
I am planning on upgrading my batteries to 4 6v batteries wired in series and parallel to have a 12v system with plenty of Amp Hours. There is a ton of information on how to wire things up but nothing...

Using generalities, doesn't this kind of hold true? 5 lbs per cell = starter battery, 10 lbs per cell= marine batt, 20 lbs per cell = deep cycle batt
Nope. You seem to believe one type may have more lead than another depending on plate thickness. Batteries of equal Amp-Hours will generally have the same weight. Riddle; which weighs more, a pizza cut into 8 slices or 12 slices?

There is some relationship between weight and cell thickness and amp hours. I didn't mean to "seem to believe" anything...just specs I've read. Do those numbers not hold fairly true with what you've read? More weight and/or thickness of lead per cell favors deep cycle, less favors starter batts. I never suggested that batteries of equal amp-hours weighed differently or not.
Oh and to answer your riddle....the thickest one :-)
